All the figures are 20mm
Figure 1
French WW1 or Polish WW2?
Same figure just one has lost his bayonet.
Figure 2
WW2 Germans
Figure 3
WW2 German Paratrooper -
This figure was designed without a base. I used a bit of 'blu-tac' jjust to keep him upright for the pictures
Figure 4
WW1 German or Franco Prussian War Prussian?.
The figure is very slight. On first impressions it looks less than 20mm simply because it is thin. However, when you stand it next to one of the figures shown above it is roughly the same height.
Any help would be appreciated.

The French figures look like Raventhorpe sculpts to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointer, much appreciated. One down maybe and 3 to go!
ReplyDeleteNot sure the French are Raventhorpe. Could the Germans (all of them) be Miltra?
ReplyDeleteHi
DeleteMiltra makes sense to me because Jack did work for Bish. I remember seeing at Jack's a long while ago a Polish cavalry figure on a horse - very long legged horse - which Jack said was from the range and a 3 horse machine gun team but haven't seen them since. This also made me think the infantry figure might also be Polish.
The last figure (Prussian FPW) might be an old Scruby figure. He did make French, Prussian, and Bavarian 25mm figures for the FPW. Even though it looks like a Scruby, especially the back view, it is rather rough for one of his figures. But maybe the mould was wearing out.

Addendum: Even though Scruby figures were listed as 25mm, most of the ones I have are closer to 22-23mm to the eyes.

Never seen any of the Scuby range. I had it in my head that they were bulky figures, don't know why. This figure definitely runs out at 25mm but because it is 'thin' it looks smaller if that makes sense?
DeleteNumbers 1 to 3 have the look of Bish Iwasko/Miltra about them and 4 looks like some of the Rose Miniature figures I bought years ago.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your search,

Hi Bob
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for taking the time to comment.
As I have said above the Miltra and Bish connection seems the most likely. Interesting thought about Rose Miniatures. I am going to give these figures back to Jack now I have photographed them, but what do you do with 1 FPW figure and 4 figures from a lost range?
#4 isn't Rose. Their 20mm WW1 Germans are very different, much more detailed, and they didn't do FPW.
ReplyDeleteThe last one looks like a converted Hinchclife Napoleonic British. The French are Raventhorpe I think, I have it as a Foreign Legionary 1900 in my collection.
